[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an immersion disinfection device for the filling tube interface of a filling machine, used to disinfect the filling tube interface of the filling machine. The disinfection device includes a fixed support mechanism, a sliding adjustment component 3, and an immersion container assembly 4. One end of the fixed support mechanism is fixedly connected to the sterile chamber at the bottom of the filling machine. The sliding adjustment component 3 is slidably disposed at the other end of the fixed support mechanism. The immersion container assembly 4 is installed on the sliding adjustment component 3 and includes a disinfection chamber for accommodating the upper filling tube interface. Hydrogen peroxide disinfectant is placed in the disinfection chamber to disinfect the upper filling tube interface.

[0030] The fixed support mechanism includes a horizontally arranged linkage assembly 1 and a vertically arranged support assembly 2. The linkage assembly 1 includes multiple linkages 101, and the support assembly 2 includes multiple hinge pins 201. Adjacent linkages 101 are hinged to each other, and a hinge pin 201 is connected to each end of the linkage assembly 1 and to the connection point between adjacent linkages 101. The support assembly 2 is used to support and fix the linkage assembly 1. The sliding adjustment assembly 3 is slidably mounted on the hinge pin 201 at one end of the fixed support mechanism, and the other end of the fixed support mechanism is used to fix it to the aseptic chamber at the bottom of the filling machine.

[0031] This invention features a slidable soaking container assembly 4 mounted on a fixed support mechanism. The vertical height of the soaking container assembly 4 is adjusted by regulating the position of the sliding adjustment component 3 on the hinge shaft 201, and the horizontal position is adjusted by regulating the rotation angle between the connecting rods 101. This design offers simple operation and high flexibility. Compared to traditional manual sterilization methods lacking reliable mechanisms, this invention utilizes the structural stability of the fixed support mechanism and the sliding adjustment component 3 to enhance the stability and reliability of the soaking container assembly 4 during movement, preventing safety issues caused by accidental movement and providing strong assurance for the normal operation of the filling machine.

[0032] Specifically, in a set of linkage assemblies 1, two adjacent linkages 101 are hinged together by a first rotary hinge damping 102. Multiple hinge shafts 201 include at least one first hinge shaft 2011 and two second hinge shafts 2012. The number of first hinge shafts 2011 can be set according to the number of linkages 101 in the linkage assembly 1, ensuring that each connection point between two adjacent linkages 101 is connected to a first hinge shaft 2011, thus guaranteeing the support and stability of the fixed support mechanism. The two second hinge shafts 2012 are respectively used to connect to the two ends of the linkage assembly 1. The first hinge shaft 2011 is either fixedly connected or hinged to the connection point between two adjacent linkages 101; that is, the first hinge shaft 2011 can rotate relative to the linkage assembly 1, or the end of the first hinge shaft 2011 can be fixedly connected to the adjacent linkage 101, as long as relative rotation between two adjacent linkages 101 is guaranteed.

[0033] Because a first rotary hinge damper 102 is provided between two adjacent connecting rods 101, the first rotary hinge damper 102 can play a certain fixing role, like an "invisible fastener". It uses internal friction or resistance generated by mechanical structure to prevent the component from rotating randomly due to its own weight, external interference and other factors, so that the component is stable in a specific position, which improves the stability and reliability of the soaking container assembly 4 during the movement process.

[0034] To further enhance the stability and reliability of the soaking container assembly 4 during movement, based on the above embodiment, a second rotary hinge damper 103 is provided at each end of the connecting rod assembly 1. The second hinge shaft 2012 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod assembly 1 through the second rotary hinge damper 103. Similar to the first rotary hinge damper 102, the second rotary hinge damper 103 can provide a certain fixing effect on the two ends of the connecting rod assembly 1, preventing the two ends of the connecting rod assembly 1 from rotating arbitrarily. Especially when the soaking container assembly 4 is installed on the hinge shaft 201 at one end of the fixed support mechanism, the setting of the second rotary hinge damper 103 can further ensure that the soaking container assembly 4 can be stably positioned in a specific location, enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed support mechanism includes two sets of opposing linkage assemblies 1, which are located on both sides of a support assembly 2 and connected via the support assembly 2. The connection method between the two sets of linkage assemblies 1 and the support assembly 2 is the same as described in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here. The two sets of linkage assemblies 1 and the support assembly 2 form a stable frame structure, further improving the stability of the fixed support mechanism.

[0036] The connecting rod 101 enables the motion and force of one rotary hinge damper to be transmitted to another rotary hinge damper, ensuring the coordination of their movements. It can also change the direction of the force to drive the other rotary hinge damper, thus allowing the device to operate in a predetermined manner. The connecting rod 101 is connected to the first rotary hinge damper 102 and the second rotary hinge damper 103 via damping fixing bolts 104.

[0037] The first hinge shaft 2011 can withstand certain axial and radial forces, ensuring a more stable force transmission path between the two rotary hinge dampers, making the movement of the entire mechanical structure more reliable and precise. The second hinge shaft 2012 mainly serves as a connection and support between the two rotary hinge dampers, and it can withstand greater torque. During power transmission, even when facing greater resistance, it can ensure smooth rotational motion, guaranteeing normal operation of the device under large loads and resistance.

[0038] The tightness of both the first rotary hinge damper 102 and the second rotary hinge damper 103 can be adjusted by adjusting the internal nut.

[0039] Furthermore, the fixed support mechanism also includes a fixed plate 5, which is fixed to the hinge shaft 201 at the end of the fixed support mechanism via a fixed hinge 6. The fixed support mechanism is fixedly connected to the aseptic chamber at the bottom of the filling machine via the fixed plate 5.

[0040] Among them, the fixing plate 5 mainly serves as a fixed support, and the fixing hinge 6 is reliably connected to the fixing plate 5 and can be quickly disassembled, which facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts and increases the flexibility of use.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the sliding adjustment assembly 3 includes a movable pressure block 301, a fixed pressure block 302, and a pressure block adjusting handwheel 303. The movable pressure block 301 and the fixed pressure block 302 are arranged opposite to each other, and a hinge shaft 201 is clamped between the movable pressure block 301 and the fixed pressure block 302. The movable pressure block 301 and the fixed pressure block 302 are detachably connected by the pressure block adjusting handwheel 303. The soaking container assembly 4 is fixed to one end of the fixed pressure block 302. The movable pressure block 301 and the fixed pressure block 302 cooperate with each other, and the pressure between the movable pressure block 301 and the fixed pressure block 302 can be adjusted by rotating the pressure block adjusting handwheel 303, thereby adjusting the height of the soaking container assembly 4 in the vertical direction. The fixed pressure block 302 mainly plays a stabilizing support role, providing a stable foundation for the movable pressure block 301, making the application of pressure more precise and reliable, and preventing the soaking container assembly 4 from shifting or shaking due to uneven force.

[0042] To enhance the stability of the sliding adjustment assembly 3, the sliding adjustment assembly 3 includes two pressure block adjusting handwheels 303, which respectively fix the pressure block movable block 301 and the pressure block fixed block 302 from both sides of the hinge shaft 201. Each pressure block adjusting handwheel 303 includes a connecting part and a handwheel part, with the connecting part passing through the pressure block fixed block 302 and threadedly connected to the pressure block movable block 301.

[0043] The soaking container assembly 4 includes a disinfectant cup holder 401, a disinfectant cup 402, and a disinfectant cup locking cap 403. The disinfectant cup holder 401 is fixed to the sliding adjustment assembly 3, and the disinfectant cup 402 is placed inside the disinfectant cup holder 401. The disinfectant cup 402 has a disinfection chamber, and the disinfectant cup locking cap 403 is sealed to the disinfectant cup 402. The disinfection chamber of the disinfectant cup 402 is used to store disinfectant. The disinfectant cup holder 401 mainly serves a supporting and stabilizing function, allowing the disinfectant cup 402 to be placed steadily on a flat surface, preventing it from tipping over and spilling disinfectant. The disinfectant cup locking cap 403 has two functions: first, a sealing function, which prevents the disinfectant from evaporating and ensures that the effective components of the disinfectant are not reduced due to prolonged exposure to air, thus guaranteeing the disinfection effect; second, a safety function, which prevents accidental spillage of disinfectant and reduces potential personal injury and property damage caused by contact with disinfectant, especially in cases where the disinfectant cup 402 is accidentally knocked over.

[0044] Furthermore, the disinfectant cup locking cap 403 is equipped with a locking cap handle 4031, and the disinfectant cup 402 is equipped with a disinfectant cup handle 4021. The locking cap handle 4031 and the disinfectant cup handle 4021 facilitate user handling, allowing users to easily grip and lift the disinfectant cup 402. Especially when the disinfectant cup 402 is full and heavy, the handle prevents the hand from directly contacting the cup and slipping, making it easy to move the disinfectant cup 402 to the desired disinfection location. Additionally, the disinfectant cup handle 4021 facilitates pouring. When using disinfectant, holding the disinfectant cup handle 4021 allows for better control of the cup's tilt angle, accurately pouring out the appropriate amount of disinfectant, making disinfection work more convenient and preventing personnel from coming into contact with chemicals.

[0045] To facilitate user handling, with the disinfectant cup locking cap 403 and disinfectant cup 402 locked, the locking cap handle 4031 and the disinfectant cup handle 4021 are fitted together.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the disinfectant cup locking cover 403 is provided with a sealing gasket 4032. When the disinfectant cup locking cover 403 and the disinfectant cup 402 are locked together, the disinfectant cup locking cover 403 is sealed to the disinfectant cup 402 through the sealing gasket 4032.

[0047] In one embodiment, the sealing gasket 4032 can be a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sealing gasket, which has good sealing performance and, due to its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical stability, can adapt to the disinfection environment, ensuring the normal use of the disinfectant cup and the effective functioning of the disinfection function.

[0048] This disinfection device is entirely made of stainless steel, possessing characteristics such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and high strength. The device employs a rotary hinge damping connection, which, in terms of stability, prevents components from swinging freely, ensuring the device is in the correct working position; in terms of user experience, the resistance allows for more precise operation and keeps components in the desired position; and in terms of safety, it prevents component rotation, ensuring operator safety. The device uses a movable pressure block, a fixed pressure block, and a pressure block adjusting handwheel to adjust the height of the soaking container assembly, offering high precision to meet the needs of different scenarios; good stability to prevent shaking and displacement; and high flexibility to improve the device's applicability.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
